Continuing to work on getting emulator tests running in TBPL; we intend to have tests running on the 'cedar' branch for testing next week. After we resolve any problems that appear, we'll promote to other branches. You can follow the progress at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789652.

Perms meeting notes at https://etherpad.mozilla.org/permtesting-20121003. Current challenges being worked on are getting the framework running under OOP, and generating apps w/ the various permissons needed. Latter preferably would be done at runtime. Ongoing effort to get behavioral documentation from developers (ptheriault's request). Mochitest-chrome also a dependency.

Please keep me posted as APIs settle down and are ready to be documented

Scott Rowe from Google is driving WebAPI documentation; we are also bringing in a contractor to work on WebAPI documentation specifically

As always:

Don't forget to add the dev-doc-needed keyword to any bugs that even might affect developer docs (whether device integration developers, Gecko developers, or web developers). You don't have to wait until the bug is fixed. We have tools to track this, and using it will get things done faster.

Feel free to ping me on IRC (sheppy) or by email (eshepherd@mozilla.com) with questions, requests, or suggestions.

POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE: it's possible to tell the camera to record video to (e.g.) "../system/bin/b2g"

I can assemble and break up the path and run the folder name through realpath() to make sure its prefix matches the DeviceStorage area, but there's still a race between the realpath() and the open() call which could be exploited
